Just a comment here. I visit India at fairly large intervals. The prices of items there SHOCKED me! I guess if I was living there continuously I would be more used to things, so Rs 340 for a Pizza just floors me. I would have said - because its a 'novelty' food it would cost something like Rs 30, but I guess you can't even get a packet of biscuits (US: Cookies) for that.

Your comment would be much more insightful if you gave the dollar amounts, as well. Is the rupee closer to a peso or a pound?

Moenchengladbach, Germany, 7.50 Euro = $10.20 (for a 40cm diameter cheese/tomato pizza)

But you usually go for a medium sized pizza for ~4.5 Euro = $6.10

Istanbul (dominos): 23TL $13.5

Although there is a 2-for-1 promotion, which is always available. (extra 5tl for second one), then it would cost 14TL $7.

London-UK: 12.99 GBP - 21.50 USD (Dominos)

Though it should be noted that the best pizza in London comes from Franco Mancas in the south and west and costs more like £7 or $11.20. Or Due Sardi in the east, margarita being £6.45 or $10.40. Dominoes is horrible. Edit: Neither do variable sizes, both are for a ~12 inch. I have no idea what size a Dominoes "large" is, but I can imagine it's terrifying...

Or pizza pilgrims in Soho, and there are a few other places. Anywhere but dominoes.

Bangkok, Thailand: 329 THB / $10

But this is relatively expensive for Thailand, since pizza is considered a luxury food here :)
